this is a super easy pattern with very cool, expensive looking results. I bought the yarn (it was on sale) and came up with the pattern specifically for it - this is a two skein mobius scarf that can be worn loose and draped, folded flat (for tucking under a coat), or doubled as a cowl. The yarn makes this pattern - I think any SUPER bulky yarn would work, but I have not tried this pattern with anything but the riot. I apologize for the pics - I didn’t have a model today and my self portraiture is not so great (to put it mildly) - I will post better pics soon. Pattern is appropriate for beginners - the only difficulty us getting use to crocheting with the fuzzy yarn. color shown is riot eyelash night ride (black)
